Stay cozy this chilly season. The Nashbar Mansfield 2 Tights provide extra insulation to keep you warm for those days in the saddle that are downright frigid. The soft, brushed interior fabric is optimized for warmth and since nothing puts a damper on cold weather riding like clammy skin it also wicks moisture away like a champ to keep you dry and comfortable. Ample, 10" locking zippers means it's a jiffy to take these tights on and off while reflective accents ensure motorists can see you when you're putting in the early morning or early evening miles. And since these tights have no integrated chamois you're free to pair them with your favorite shorts underneath for perfect riding comfort.

When I have a long commute, I wear cycling clothes for more comfort, and these are a nice weight for 40 degree weather. I ordered my usual medium, but they were way too tight. Larges are still snug. Comfortable, but they creep down while riding and I have to occasionally pull them back up.

I have just finished the Ride 2 Recovery Gulf Coast Challenge Ride and can tell you that after using these tights for 6 straight days, they do add some warmth to your lower body. The temps we hit in Atlanta on March 1, 2015 were 30 and below, with wind chill down to 19. These tights were part of 4 layers I was wearing as it was also raining/sleeting. The ONLY major problem I incurred was that seam running front to back was NOT FLAT. Nashbar is set up for Bikers, they should know better. This would not be a problem for rides of 25 to 30 miles... But since the ride from Atlanta ended in New Orleans, over 400 miles away... This NOT FLAT SEAM became an irritant in SO MANY WAYS.

This is my first pair of cycling/running tights they fit great and are warm enough to run on windy 12° New England mornings. Im a short 6' tall, about 180lbs and the large fits really well. I do wear mesh shorts over them for some added warmth. The zipper at the ankle makes them easier to Change into and out of.

Perfect to keep the wind off your legs on a cool, crisp morning. Wear over a pair of cycling shorts and take them off when it heats up. Seem to run toward Euro sizing. I had to send mine back for a larger size.
